As expected, just as the young Emperor was entertaining these thoughts, that familiar voice sounded in his ear again:
"Eh, what's the situation here? Why has this little Emperor kept me behind alone? Could it be that he's attracted to my handsome appearance?"
"Damn it! Although this little Emperor does indeed look quite delicate, that's definitely not my cup of tea! But if it were a woman, she would certainly be a beauty. A man looking like this is just unheard of."
At this point, the young Emperor, who had been frowning and staring at Lin Yi, suddenly shuddered for no apparent reason.
Then his gaze was firmly fixed on this little eunuch, as if trying to completely see through him.
Not only that, but he also suddenly said in a cold voice:
"Come with me, little Lin."
After saying this, he turned around and went back to his desk but did not kneel down.
Instead, he just stood there, staring intently at Lin Yi as he walked over with his head lowered.
At this moment, she unexpectedly felt a surge of panic in her heart.
She could never have imagined that this little eunuch would guess that she was female.
This was an absolute secret that could not be known by others, especially those Imperial Uncles.
If they found out that she was indeed a woman, they would certainly make a move against her immediately, and she might very well lose her throne!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, which inevitably led to a hint of murderous intent.
As for the other palace maids and eunuchs, they bowed respectfully and quickly exited the Imperial Study Room.
The old eunuch took a deep look at little Lin, then at the Emperor who had a very unpleasant expression, bowed respectfully, and also took his leave.
However, after leaving, he didn't go far but stayed close to the door.
If someone had looked closely at that moment, they would have been astonished to find that the old eunuch's ears were slightly twitching...
However, Lin Yi had no idea that the young Emperor had already harbored the intention to kill him, and was even muttering to himself:
"Eh? This little Emperor isn't hurrying to the bridal chamber on his wedding night, could this guy really be gay??"
The young Emperor, who had already felt a flicker of murderous intent, almost lost her footing and fell forward upon hearing Lin Yi's internal complaints.
This damned eunuch is actually slandering me in his heart!
And what's this about being gay? Is he implying that I have homosexual preferences?
This is preposterous, it seems too lenient not to teach him a harsh lesson right now.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I can somehow hear his thoughts, which has left me momentarily confused about the situation.
Based on just those irreverent words he thought earlier, it would be enough to behead him ten times!
Yet it wasn't over, just as the young Emperor was about to scold him, Lin Yi sneakily lifted his head a little and glanced at the young Emperor from the corner of his eye.
At the same time, the young Emperor heard his inner thoughts again:
"Mommy, why is this little Emperor staring at me all the time? He couldn't have taken a liking to me, could he? That's just too horrifying! Ptooey, I'm a real man who works with oxen, I have no interest in men!"
Following this voice, the young Emperor who wanted to speak was stunned into silence. What does "a real man who works with oxen" even mean?
The words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back, and her gaze began to reassess the person in front of her.
Especially lingering longer at certain places.
However, due to the eunuch's clothing being too loose, she couldn't really make out the situation there.
And Lin Yi, standing before the Imperial Table, began to feel puzzled having waited left and right without hearing the young Emperor speak.
Unknown to him what this young Emperor actually intended to do.
However, just as he was about to steal another glance, the young Emperor's icy voice suddenly erupted.
"Disrobe so We can take a look!"
These words left Lin Yi dumbfounded.
His head, which he was slightly lifting, jerked up in shock.
The next moment, his eyes met with the young Emperor's!
At this very moment, the young Emperor was staring at him with a piercing gaze, as if trying to see right through him.
This sent Lin Yi's heart into immediate panic.
At the same time, Lin Yi's panicked voice echoed in the young Emperor's ear:
[What?! What does the young Emperor want me to do?? Disrobe?? And to show him?? Could it be, could this person actually be homosexual??]
Thinking this, Lin Yi involuntarily shivered, the thought of such a confrontational scenario sent chills down his spine.
Hearing the mention of the word 'homosexual,' the young Emperor's brows furrowed instantly, his voice rising sharply:
"Hurry up! Disrobe!"
Startled awake by the rebuke, Lin Yi's legs tensed in fear, and his face immediately contorted into an expression uglier than crying:
"Your Majesty, this cannot be, I am but a castrated man, how dare I behave indecently in Your presence…"
Even though he spoke thus, his true thoughts were not the same.
[Darn it, to preserve my innocence, I can only slander my bits.]
As soon as he thought of his 'bits,' Lin Yi came to a realization.
He was a real man! If he truly removed his trousers, wouldn't his identity be exposed?
A fake eunuch infiltrating the Inner Palace, there would only be one outcome—death!
Fear gripped his heart, but he feigned composure on his face.
However, at that moment, the young Emperor let out a cold chuckle:
"Haha, 'dare not behave indecently before Us'? We believe that it is fear that restrains you. Lin Yi! Do you admit your guilt?"
The sudden forceful questioning left Lin Yi unable to react for a moment.
Before he could even begin to defend himself, the young Emperor's authoritative voice thundered once more:
"We ask you, have you truly been castrated?"
This thoroughly terrified Lin Yi, causing him to break out in cold sweat instantly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel shocked:
[Damn! Holy shit! The young Emperor actually knows I haven't been castrated!! Mother! I'm completely doomed now!]
As Lin Yi lamented inwardly, the young Emperor immediately heard this inner voice.
This revelation also caused the young Emperor great astonishment.
From the first time she heard this man claim to be a true man, she had her suspicions, and now they were confirmed.
She never imagined that this Lin Yi could truly be a fake eunuch!
Her expression darkened in an instant…
